Saw the tools were back in stock yesterday. Ordered them. Will practice this as soon as I can. Thank you all so much. Marsha was very knowledgeable and helpful. Really appreciate you all. Be well, be safe, be happy.
I'm so glad TH-cam suggested this video, leading me to your channel, and to Maker's Leather Supply. I bought a beginner kit from Tandy Leather three years ago, and got side tracked by other hobbies before getting started with it. My attention recently returned to leather, and I've been searching for a leather craft supply shop in the Waco area.
I enjoy your videos and as a vet I must say doing this is more therapeutic than a visit to the VA. I wish you had a over the shoulder cam view. Thanks for your knowledge and willingness to share.
I just got a new camera and am going to be looking into different views to film. I agree with the therapeutic value of this craft. I've taught a lot of fellow veterans and it has been good for all of them.
Great video, Aaron! I really appreciate the videos you produce. It’s so cool when skilled and experienced craftsmen such as yourself take the time to do stuff like this and share their knowledge freely with the rest of the leathercrafting community!
I started doing leather work to make nice sheaths for my knives. I found I enjoyed it as much or better than knife making. I do more leather than knives now, but still make one or two a month and I make belts, wallets, small clutch/purses, sheaths of course and the occasional odd project like artistic bookmarkers. I even made a vest but found it's too much labor without a sewing machine. I enjoyed your video and found it helpful. I have drafting tools and a small board that would make your pattern much faster to do and somebody's getting your pattern on a journal cover for Christmas.
I just got some second hand tools, some leather and a few bits and pieces to make a couple of knife sheaths but ended up starting to make a rifle sling as my first ever leatherwork project today. Its far from fantastic but its a start and will get it finished over the next few days as all i have done so far is cut the shape i want and put a border but this has inspired me to add some tooling too!
@@jamiem5364 Go for it. I'm still wearing the first belt I ever made, it's holding up well and it has taken the contour of my waist so when I take it off it waves instead of being straight.
@Matthew M I think I already have the bug haha I really thought it would be alot harder than it is, ive always been into wood work etc so love making stuff. Im sure it will take some time to get good at it and still have other tools that I need to buy which seems like that will be never ending too. Already put a basic border stamp on just deciding what inside tooling to do with what I already have which isnt alot yet. Awesome stuff its great using hand made things. I love hunting with reloads as it just seems even more rewarding after all of the effort of load development etc.
You could assume that a lot of oilfield workers from South Louisiana would really like a Fleur de Lis on their custom little tally book. The Boudreaux and Thibodeaux crowds just love those things. They is a lot of them around.
The design you're talking about on an old sofa is called "tufted". They punch holes in a pattern and thread big heavy buttons and cord threw the holds. The cords are pulled tight and secured.... Tufted...
Never heard of “tufted”, but my mind went more toward a Tuck and Roll (or Tucked and Rolled) like what was used in classic and custom car interiors in tho 50s and early 60s to make consecutive horizontal semi-cylinders for lack of a better word, with the baffles filled with cotton batting. Later styles done more in 1970s custom jobs had more of a raised pleated/gathered diamond pattern with buttons sewn into the corners.
Aaron, great looking you do very nice professional work. Being new at this and I make arm guards for Archery and that will look awesome. I don't have the tools you used for the centers but I bet a small seeder might work. Thank you for these videos as thy are very helpful and can't wait too see more.
I've used packing tape before and it's terrible, I didn't know that about shipping tape but I have been using it lately and you are right it's great, leaves no mark. Now I know, thank you for that info and video.
Love the pattern, thanks ..i worked the patch and started leather cause a saddle shop sells scraps for good price,,, where theres oil theres cowboys and cattle be my guess on why the patch has leather hobbyists 🤔
I taught myself to tool and though I'm right handed, it just feels more natural for me this way. I had been at it for a few years before someone pointed it out to me.
I’m curious if you would be willing to show how you get ideas from your head to develop a template. I see designs in my mind but it’s very hard to transfer to my leather. I don’t know if I’m making any sense, but it’s worth a try to ask lol. Love the videos!
Good stuff. I been doing this stuff a long while now but one can always do to improve & best way to do that is learn from others then try to recreate it yourself right?
I like your videos. It's just the focus of the camera that's bothering me..I don't want to miss out anything 😂 I'd like to go into my workshop and try these out. It looks great!
I enjoyed your video. I liked that you used commentary through it, which made the video easier to follow and what not. I can I suggest adding music tracks to future videos?
Problem I've had with taping the back of my leather is that it tears up the nap and I end up having to line it, I haven't found any tape that doesn't do that. So my question is, does the tape you're using not do that?
Way easier then tape on the leather is a tiny amount of spray adhesive on the slab.. granite... you’ll never notice it, but it will stick the leather beautifully. Just do it twenty minutes ahead of the process... and have a bit of goo be gone to clean any over spray. Or do it outside.
You are using Packaging Tape because the label is colored Blue. If you were using Shipping tape it would be colored Blue. Look inside the roll and it will tell you Packaging Tape.
You have Barry King shell fillers on your site but they look different than the ones you are using. Are there others? BTW I read the comment about your videos being too long. I appreciate the little helpful hints you provide while looking for things. I also know how to advance the video if I do not have time to watch every minute. As they say: You do You :)
@AmyHahn-yn1zp I actually just did it on a belt. Not sure what angle I used bit when the lines cross right in the middle and the ends of the lines connect on the border of the belt, it looks great!
Hello dear sir , I am from pakistan and my grand father was profashional in this work and they was my teacher of this work ... But he is dead..no more. I am going to start again this work. Can you help me?
Hey Daniel, thought I'd mention that use a piece of old yoga mat instead of frame matting. I get unreal impressions from my stamps, even on 1mm to 1.5mm veg tan. Worth a go. Plus the mat lasts ages.
The official name of that frame mat board is also called Foam Core Mat Board. it’s great stuff so many uses. The yoga mat was another great idea. Ideal project size for creative designs and a really nice gift and so useful. Great video!
Do you ever find that tape on the back (any kind of tape) of your project will pull off a bit of material and almost make it fuzzy when it's removed? Now I know that cheaper leather like T's is fuzzy already, but I'm talking about good leather like Herman Oak or equivalent. Just wanted your thoughts. Enjoy your videos.
hello from the uk ,just found you vids,loving them,was wondering if you could tell the number of the stamps you used in the corners of the quilting patterns please thanks
Just found your videos and your website this am. Many helpful tips. I noticed you do not use the double loop stitch in any of your video demonstrations. Do you prefer the buckstitch? Any known issues with the double loop?
The F 910 Triangle beveler who is the maker. I really like that diamond Quilted pattern can you tell me the numbers and makers of those stamps as well Thanks for the video
I love what you are trying to share but you need the camera closer, focused ON the work, the tools, the techniques. When we can't see, it might as well be audio.
I'm grateful to you for posting this to teach us. BUTTTT!! your camera is so far away that I couldn't understand the edge roping.. that was one thing that I need to learn. This is as far as I've gotten. It's just that you're too far away , also please show the tools and how to hold them in the patterns , please Sir. 👍
the word you're looking for is "tufted." LOL love that look!!!
Tufted is the word for the old couch pattern. I love it!
The furniture term you were trying to remember is tufted. Nice work, I enjoyed your instructions.
OLD Leather Smith here, Great job Aaron. Thanks 4 teaching this OLD Leather Smith new tricks. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Love the work and your veteran owned sign in the background. Veteran myself, got yourself a new subcriber.
Thanks for watching! I'm uploading a new video now!
Saw the tools were back in stock yesterday. Ordered them. Will practice this as soon as I can. Thank you all so much. Marsha was very knowledgeable and helpful. Really appreciate you all. Be well, be safe, be happy.
You sure are a good teacher! Thank you!!!
Thank you for tip on putting scotch shipping tape on leather back ~ great idea and so simple!

Dang, thank you so much!!! I've wanted to learn that rope edge!
Love your work pure craftsmanship, thank you so much
WOW ~ BEAUTIFUL ~ THIS PATTERN WOULD 👀 NICE ON MY BOOK COVERS!!
Thank you for the cool lessons! I look and study with you with great pleasure! Health to you! Good luck!
EXCELLENT tutorial! Thanks and best wishes for 2022.
Genius excellent tooling.. I really did enjoy your video..😎🤙🤙
That looks excellent thank you!
Love the look of this
I like that pattern. Even one direction looked cool. And two. And three!
I sent an email. I have an order that hasn't shipped yet that I want to add something to.
Very cool! Thank you for the video!

Quite a few leather workers start with knives in a very similar way! Welcome to the fun stuff!
I just got some second hand tools, some leather and a few bits and pieces to make a couple of knife sheaths but ended up starting to make a rifle sling as my first ever leatherwork project today.

@@MountainFisher thats great to hear mate, I will grab a couple of belt blanks and make a couple very soon. Good to hear its still going strong!

Thank you for posting this. I can't wait to give it a shot. It looks wonderful!
ممتاز بارك الله فيك وشكراً لك يا معلم انا متابع لك و أشكرك على هدؤك في الشرح تحياتي لك من سورية من دمشق الياسمين 🌹❤️💚🌿
The Diamond Quilted pattern is like you said, Simple and looks pretty cool. I'm definitely gonna try it. Thanks
What detail.....Just got yourself another Subscriber :)
That was AWESOME!

Tuck and Roll....looks great
Jeff Dashjian it button tucked or rolled and pleated .
Wow excellent work! Broadening my view of possibilities. Thanks for sharing.

Meu amigo, você é muito talentoso, gostei muito do seu trabalho
It looks really good like it is.
Love the pattern, thanks ..i worked the patch and started leather cause a saddle shop sells scraps for good price,,, where theres oil theres cowboys and cattle be my guess on why the patch has leather hobbyists 🤔
The dude that made my new Scalpel handle is Mark Drury of KMD Knives N Designs. If you want one you should give him a ring at (641) 751-3012!
Makers Leather Supply Thank you for the mention! Glad you like it!!!
@@markdrury735, are you still making the swivel knives?
Very cool. Just might have to start another project. [After I buy your ruler]
Perfect!!
I love this pattern and can't wait to try it this weekend.
Nice one, also makes a change to see someone do things the same way round as me, i.e. left handed
I taught myself to tool and though I'm right handed, it just feels more natural for me this way. I had been at it for a few years before someone pointed it out to me.
Nice work... it's called "tufting" or "tufted" with the recessed buttons in upholstery work.
Finally managed to order the BK shell stamps! *jumps up and down with excitement
I’m curious if you would be willing to show how you get ideas from your head to develop a template. I see designs in my mind but it’s very hard to transfer to my leather. I don’t know if I’m making any sense, but it’s worth a try to ask lol. Love the videos!
I've considered the next time I have a pattern in my head doing a video of how it comes to life, showing the good bad and ugly.
Awesome. Thank you. got yourself new subscriber.. helps alot
Thank you
I believe you are speaking of tufting that was done on furniture
Absolutely beautiful design! How long did it take you to do the whole project? I can’t wait to see it finished with the die. Excellent!
The entire project would take about 4 hours
Good stuff. I been doing this stuff a long while now but one can always do to improve & best way to do that is learn from others then try to recreate it yourself right?

Your coffee is cold! I do that all the time...get into a project and end up drinking cold coffee!
Me too! I've grown to love cold coffee! Ha Ha
Awesome leather design. Thank you for the great class equivalent teaching. I will try this on something. Would this be to much on a billfold?
Awsome project. Look up Johan Potgieter - rope effect. He shows how to use this tool around corners. Thanks
Cool 😎
Problem I've had with taping the back of my leather is that it tears up the nap and I end up having to line it, I haven't found any tape that doesn't do that. So my question is, does the tape you're using not do that?
Greetings, this round ball pin which one could say and congratulations beautiful work
Button cushion pattern ~ you where close enough ~ 👍🏾
Way easier then tape on the leather is a tiny amount of spray adhesive on the slab.. granite... you’ll never notice it, but it will stick the leather beautifully. Just do it twenty minutes ahead of the process... and have a bit of goo be gone to clean any over spray. Or do it outside.
I know lots of folks use this type method, but I have found it difficult to get the sticky off the back of the leather if I'm not lining a piece.
You are using Packaging Tape because the label is colored Blue. If you were using Shipping tape it would be colored Blue. Look inside the roll and it will tell you Packaging Tape.
a skilled artisan if i may say so:D
What swivel knive is that????? I love it
Made by Sergey Neskromniy. He is found on Facebook and etsy
I believe it’s called a diamond button tuck
You have Barry King shell fillers on your site but they look different than the ones you are using. Are there others? BTW I read the comment about your videos being too long. I appreciate the little helpful hints you provide while looking for things. I also know how to advance the video if I do not have time to watch every minute. As they say: You do You :)
Go to Barry's website and look for seashell fillers under the Geometric category. Those are the right one.
what size of push beveler you are using on the video
Can this pattern be done on a belt? If so how would you go about determining the angle for the lines? Thank you
@AmyHahn-yn1zp I actually just did it on a belt. Not sure what angle I used bit when the lines cross right in the middle and the ends of the lines connect on the border of the belt, it looks great!
I found two size on the web
1. one size 2. 0 to 4 this is more expensive/ which one?
can you explain further about the picture frame matting? what is it, it's a kind of foam?
I was wondering the same thing. I don't think it's thick like foam board. Maybe?
Excellent tutorial, acute and obtuse angles are 6th grade not college, though.
I probably wasn't paying attention in that one either.
First strike of the mallet 23:00.....sheesh
Love this pattern but how do we go about getting it?
There is no set pattern... just some swivel knife cuts and stamping.
I might call it a Chesterfield pattern.
How do you stop it from curling when it dries?
Beautiful work!!! I can’t find the shell fillers tho... think you could link them?
www.barrykingtools.com/geometrics.htm. they're on this page. Seashell fillers
(
I have the F-901 tool but would love to know where to get the other two stamps you used. Can you give me tool numbers? Love that design
There are no tool numbers on Barry King's tools... they are called seashell fillers.
What's a good site to buy a full hide of this kind of leather without all the fur on it?
We have it on our site. Www.makersleathersupply.com
What kind of stamp tool did you use? Where can I get that tool?
Or rolled and pleated
Hello dear sir ,
I am from pakistan and my grand father was profashional in this work and they was my teacher of this work ...
But he is dead..no more.
I am going to start again this work.
Can you help me?
Great video! You mentioned a product that helps stamp deeper impressions, could you tell us again please, what its called. Thanks Aaron.
Picture frame matting. Available at craft stores and frame shops, it is like very thick poster board.
Hey Daniel, thought I'd mention that use a piece of old yoga mat instead of frame matting. I get unreal impressions from my stamps, even on 1mm to 1.5mm veg tan. Worth a go. Plus the mat lasts ages.

hello from the uk ,just found you vids,loving them,was wondering if you could tell the number of the stamps you used in the corners of the quilting patterns please thanks
The seashell stamps are unavailable. Can you suggest another stamp to complete this instead?
I ended up using the triangle stamp you used for the rope border. Painstakingly slow and not as nice but it got the job done.
You forgot to give us the name of the person who makes the handles for the scalpel.
Just posted it in the comments. Thank you for reminding me.
Just found your videos and your website this am. Many helpful tips. I noticed you do not use the double loop stitch in any of your video demonstrations. Do you prefer the buckstitch? Any known issues with the double loop?
I don't have a problem doing double loop or triple loop lacing, I just haven't found a project yet to do it on.
What's the glass block and where do you get it?
Where can I order the stencil that u have in the video sir
What stencil are we referring to? The ruler?
Very nice work .New to leather work and I have been making a few belts. How would you use this pattern on a belt?
You could use it. I'd keep the lines at a 45 degree angle and have them cross right in the center all the way down.
Good video but if the camera was zoomed in a bit more we could see the actual tools in action.
The F 910 Triangle beveler who is the maker. I really like that diamond Quilted pattern can you tell me the numbers and makers of those stamps as well Thanks for the video
The F910 is a craftool. The other 2 stamps I used are by Barry King and they are called shell fillers.
Can you list the Barry king craftools used to make the upholstery look?
Craftool F910 and Barry King Seashell fillers.
